Very Fire BELBV350901DX IJN Aircraft Carrier Taiho DX Version 1/350 is an advanced plastic model kit representing one of the most technically sophisticated aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy from World War II – Taihō (Great Phoenix). The model is crafted in a remarkable 1/350 scale, which allows for faithful reproduction of all the details of this impressive ship from 1944.

The Taihō was the first Japanese aircraft carrier to be equipped with a heavy armor belt and an armored flight deck, marking a revolution in carrier design at the time and aiming to provide increased survivability on the battlefield. She was built by the Kawasaki shipyard in Kobe, launched in April 1943, and entered service in March 1944. Her combat career ended swiftly—on June 19, 1944, during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, when after being struck by a torpedo from the American submarine USS Albacore, catastrophic explosions occurred due to design flaws and inadequate damage control.
